Man's Prison Sentence Suspended On Drug Charge

July 06, 1994|The Morning Call

A Mount Lebanon man was given a suspended prison sentence last week in Northampton County Court on a charge of delivery of LSD.

James William McKinney, formerly of Easton and Bethlehem, had been charged with selling 10 hits of LSD to an undercover trooper for $40 in March 1993 in Bethlehem. He entered a negotiated guilty plea March 7 in which charges including conspiracy and possession of LSD were withdrawn.

McKinney was given a suspended sentence of 18-36 months in county prison and ordered to pay a $750 fine. Judge F.P. Kimberly McFadden said McKinney must keep a full-time job and remain away from drugs.
